Many people associate spiritual activities with religion, but sometimes performing spiritual activities is a self-help practice to help a person improve their mental and emotional health. In a nonreligious concept, spirituality emphasizes well-being. This can include holistic activities such as meditation or yoga. Spirituality seeks a connection with something greater than yourself, which can lead to positive emotions such as peace, wonder, contentment, gratitude, and acceptance. If you are eager to get in touch with your soul, carrying out spiritual activities can be of great help.

During the course of learning mindfulness, you may be asked to try different things. For example, you may be asked to concentrate on your breathing. A lot of people don't realize the significance of this task. The fact is that most of us don't use the lung capacity that we have because we don't need to in order to stay alive. However, when you breathe correctly, as you are taught later in the audiobook, you actually improve what's going on in your body, and systems such as the sympathetic nervous system are able to do their work more efficiently.

The inner critic is the voice inside our heads reminding us that we are never "good enough". It's behind the insidious thoughts that can make us second-guess our every action and doubt our own value. The inner critic might feel overpowering, but it can be managed effectively. Meditation teacher and therapist Mark Coleman helps listeners understand and free themselves from the inner critic using the tools of mindfulness and compassion.
